The village head also brought the delegates to tour the exhibition hall which displayed pictures and articles of the village’s activities.

Meanwhile, the Women’s Bureau of the council demonstrated the making of banana crackers or ‘keripik pisang’, which served as one of the village’s product for the ‘One Village One Product’ project.

Speaking to the media, the village head expressed his hopes that the visit will benefit both parties in terms of useful and practical information.

These visits, which will last for five days, are aimed at increasing the collaborative relationship between Brunei and Indonesia in the field of information.
